Bedroom Poem by Carson Tidwell

Hurricane sheets,
splashing cracked dishes high.
Drops of black tea staining cream carpet,
as a whirlpool of alphabet soup swirls
amongst the destruction.
Curtains torn haphazardly across
the setting moon-light.
Sinking bed barren save for a girl,
violet hair fallen over sleepless years.
Arms and legs scratched up like fiberglass,
a crinkled white gown sliding off the shoulder.
Heart pumping ludicrously.
Pushing away her ruffled bangs.
Dark blue irises stare back from the fractured mirror
She drifts on scattered shards.
